Cheap Apple EarPods clones?

[sigamy]

My kids like the Apple EarPods style headphones. With five iOS devices in the house, these things go missing often. So, I'm looking to pick up a few pair at lower than the $30 Apple price.

Anyone have experience with the cheap knock offs on Amazon?

Or can anyone recommend something with the same in-ear style?

I too am looking for a new set. Just by taking a quick look at the link it's immediately obvious that they are poor quality. Most reviews complain of durability issues so if I were you I'd pass. eBay probably has a few sets as a lot of people don't use them and cash in after buying a phone.

I'd say eBay is a good bet, but probably best to look for sellers who are only selling one pair (that way, chances are they're selling ones that came with their new iPod/iPhone).

+1 to that! Loads of people selling dozens of "genuine" apple earphones.
